A Cake Wrecks Correspondence

"A Typical Day Of John Checking E-Mail"

Dear [REDACTED],

Thank you for choosing Cake Wrecks for such an important occasion! I'd be delighted to offer you a quote, but first let me show you a few of our most popular Sesame Street cakes, so you can pick out your favorite.

(Please note that for copyright reasons we can't actually call these Sesame Street characters, but I'm sure our versions will look VERY familiar. ;))

"Huge Bird"

"Oreo Monster"

"Trash Head"
aka "Mr. Can-'Do"

And "Petrified Elro"

Or for a little extra, you can get all four characters together!

[plastic faces not included]

We also have some new "Bieber-licious" character cookies your son is sure to love:

Prices vary depending on the cake's size, flavor, and age, so just let us know how many people you'd like to feed and how picky you are about "freshness." Delivery is free within a twenty mile radius, but keep in mind our delivery guy moonlights as a mobile pet groomer, so there's always a SLIGHT chance of pet hair - but really, that almost never happens. (Which reminds me: Billy gives our customers a 15% discount! Just FYI.)

Let me know which cake you'd prefer, and thanks again for choosing Cake Wrecks!

Thanks to Todd T, Julie B., David & Debbie B., Jennifer G., Anony M., & Cynthia for actually making it through our contact page without thinking we make all these cakes ourselves.

Whatever Happens, Let's Be Prefessionals

I'm pretty sure today is one of bakers' least favorite holidays ever, if only because it's so stinking hard to spell:

(I admit it: I had to double check that there aren't two Fs in "professional.")

 

(Just to be clear: there aren't.)

 

"Proffional"

"Profissional"

I like how this baker just omits the word entirely:

...and yet still falls down on "Adminiestrations." Heh.

I'm curious to know how THIS happened:

SO CLOSE.

Still, you've got to hand it to the baker: at least "professionals" is right! After all, that's a tough word to spell. Just ask a team of editors, proofreaders, graphic designers, and one sheepish cake blogger:

 

(Just in case anyone out there is still wondering why there's a sticker on the cover of Wreck the Halls. :D)

And finally, though today used to be known as Secretary's Day, you should never call it that. And if you're a boss of the male persuasion with an assistant of the female persuasion, then you should especially never call it that, misspell "Day" and then pair it with a Betty Boop figurine:

 Don Draper called, and he wants a glass of rye. Chop chop, darlin'.

 

Thanks to Al D., Nancy P., Mary P., Jennifer C., Dana F., Ellery T., & Piper S. for all the assistants!
